Britney Spears Responsible for Delay in Israeli Election

Pop singer Britney Spears appears to be to blame for a delay in an election in Israel. TMZ.com reports that the Israeli Labor Party reportedly postponed its primary election from July 3 to July 4 because Spears is due to arrive in Tel Aviv the same day.

“In a statement, the election committee for the Labor Party did not name Britney specifically — but did say ‘the election date was delayed by one day due to the fact that there is a major event at Yarkon Park on July 3, 2017.’ That’s where Britney’s concert is going down,” TMZ reports.

TMZ adds: “Israeli journalist Tal Schneider broke the story … the Labor Party apparently made the change so their party members could reach polling stations without all the foot traffic around … and actually cast a vote.”
